Chomsky famously replied to basically anyone emailing him too. I have to imagine he was very liberally accepting invites to things.

The popularists are still doing the same confirmation bias as the rest of us. Yglesias also is in favor of upzoning, despite the popular support for local control. He's right about that one, but doesn't realize he's just picking and choosing which issues are worth fighting for.

Careless People - The book Facebook tried to sue to prevent from being published. Funny in a "what on earth were they thinking" kinda way.

It's somehow literally project veritas. It's the same guy. I guess he's just on the wrong side of the epstein fallout.
